Feb. 24, 2013: Oscar Preview ‘13

We're surprised we could keep our first guest in her seat! Stunt woman, Kym Washington Longino, knows how to pump up the action. She has doubled for some of the biggest names in Hollywood, performing daring stunts for the last 35 years.

Over the summer, we sat down with two folks that were destined for greatness before we even knew it. Best director nominee Benh Zeitlin and Best actress nominee Quvenzhané Wallis of the Best picture nominee, ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ stopped by the studio to talk about a small indie film gaining traction in Hollywood. With those nominations and more, ‘Beasts’ was Oscar gold before it even hit theatres!

And one of our history’s most shameful chapters comes into play in 2012’s movie season. Local Boston screenwriter, filmmaker, and educator Deborah Shariff stops by to give her take on Oscar nominated films, Lincoln and Django Unchained.

Be sure to tune into WCVB for the 85th Annual Academy Awards Sunday 7PM ET, and after the awards with Jimmy Kimmel and on Monday on Good Morning America!
